One of the boldest ways to dress, I believe, involves the use of colour blocking.

I'm not always in the mood to wear bold colours like this, but when I am, I really love how they make my outfit pop and yet, the neatness and separateness of the colours doesn't make the outfit look messy or too over the top.

In this case, I went for yellow and blue because they're complimentary colours and because I love the mustardy yellow on this bag!

My only regret about buying this bag, which I think is super cute, is that I didn't realise that it was actually a knock-off design from a luxury Australian brand, Mimco. I try not to be knock-offs if I can help it, not because I don't like bargains but because it feels a little unoriginal, like plagiarism. Ah well.

The Real Girl

I'm just about as average a girl as you're going to get. I'm not tall or thin or beautiful. I'm not good at taking photos, being interesting or looking nice. I don't have tons of money to spend on designer clothes or tons of time to go shopping for them. I'm not particularly tech savvy. But I have a smart camera and I like to write. Besides, I figure blogging is a bit like singing in the shower. It won’t affect those who don’t hear it, and those who do hear it must be pretty durn close to you anyway.
